Award year: 2023
Category: Scholarship / Grant
Type: ERC Advanced Grant
Awarding organization: Europäischer Forschungsrat (ERC)
Among the topics Enrique Zuazua deals with are partial differential equations, control theory and numerics. The main inspiration behind his project “Control for Deep and Federated Learning (CoDeFeL)” that has now received the ERC Grant are the challenges that can arise when using applications in digital medicine. Machine learning heralds a new era in applied mathematics, leading to innovative and powerful new methods. This raises fundamental mathematical questions, however. Enrique Zuazua intends tackling this challenge from the perspective of other, more intensely researched areas of applied mathematics, namely from the interface between control theory and machine learning.
